ROCHESTER, N.Y. - The Daemen College men's track and field team was back in action today competing against a mixed field at the Roberts Wesleyan College Invitational.  The event featured teams from around the region, ranging from community colleges up to the NCAA Division I level, including the likes of Canisius College.

Fifth-year senior long distance man Brett Smith (Ontario, N.Y./Wayne Central) finished sixth in the 5000 meter run with a time of 16:24.36 while senior thrower Mark Fox (Dansville, N.Y./Dansville) added a seventh place finish in the shot put with a toss of 13.61 meters.
